BECOMING p
The Notable Prevalence 81 Rec Hair at
Steubenville.

The Notable Prevalence 81 Re Hair ut
Steubenville.
People who attended the Steuhenyille
Street Fair were almost universally struck
with the great number of auburn haired
women who were there. All shades were
to be seen, from the bright circus bill red,
to the mellow, golden tinge of a ripening
apple, and the FURNISHED bronze Of which
the poet sings. Red haired women were
far more numerous than white horses, and
at one time Market street contained 80
many women with hair of red color, that as
one man remarked, 1.-THE eIigencies Of the
moment demanded the appearance of a
whole herd of white horses" Another
thing noticed was that red hair was almost
universally admired by the men. 1t was
! not i%nfrequent for q man's gaze TO be
drawn from some blonde, or dark eyed
brunette, by the fitting past Of a beautiful
red haired woman. 1t was a hard matter TO
decide whether there was a street fair go
ing on or whether all the demonstration
was in honor of a reunion of red haired
women. At Gains Winter Garden there
were at one time three red-haired women
and one e -haired man on the stage at
once. Red hair ran loose in such a wild
prOfusion that the professors became an OBJ
iect OF universal notice. If red hair il or
is not becoming popular popular it was at
least decidedly numerous at the Steuben-
vile street fair.

The Water Question.

A REGISTER reporter met Mr.. John u.
Hoffman, ST., President of the Water
Board, last evening and queried him re-
garding the volumnious article on the
city's water supply in yesterdays NNe'cs
Letter. The gentleman stated that be had
not seen the article and did not know what
it contained. He believed however that
the only true means of furnishing the city
with pure water was by natural tilterage,
and that could not he done unless they
had the money to do it with,
as it would never do to begin
the work and not have enough
funds to push it right through. He said
all thet ak in the world will not purify
the water, and the money is not forth
coming at present. SO the water matter
will likely rest where it is until such
time rs the city a do something to
remedy it. He also stated that there
were two reports received by the Water
Board from gentlemen probably as compe-
tent as DR.. Smart, which differed very
much from his in some of the main points.

GOLD SHORT
His Voice Again Raised in Behalf of More
Railroads.

HIS voice again ENAlbeu III Dthhli VI "OEo
Railroads.
In the current issue Of the Age Of Steel
Gold Short has the following:
In this age of unitarian progress there
is a strong tendency to exaggerate the in-
fluence of railroads as promoters Of COM
mercial and municipal growth; and where
localities have undoubted possession of
other very decided and still greater essen
tials, the building of railroads unquestion-
ably stimulates and accelelstes their de-
velopment, and as n consequent, both mer-
chantile and social interests are benefited.
The reverse is also true. Railroads built
or projected through regions upon which
nature has bestowed merely a mOckery OF
her gifts can only benefit the speculative
sharpers who gull the credulous
into such wildcat investments. l
have been urging the building of addi-
tional railroads into Wheeling or rather
the construction of an inducement in the
shape of a railroad bridge, which would
stimulate aud hasten the completion of
roads already partially built and promote
the building of additional ones. In doing
this my great animating motive, viz to
rouse these people into progressive action,
has not blunted my conception of the pro-
priety Of her embarking, ~stleast to the ex-
tent of holding stock, in such an enterprise,
or Of her ability to do so. Her many and
wonderfully great advantages, facilities
and resources are being frittered away
with the development they have so far re-
ceiyed and the utilization of them so far
practiced. The scope for large manufac,
turing enterprises in and about Wheeling
is practically unlimited and an unusual
inducement is presented by the fact that
the field is but scantily occupied, In fact,
some of the most advantageous locations
are ~uncccupied. In the case of Wheeling
additional railroad facilities would confer
increased facilities for the more s~atisfac-
tory, rapid and probably economical mar
keting OF products for the manufactures
already established and encourage those in
les favored localities to move to her
~neishborhoOd and psrtake of the goodly
share she possesses. This, / take it, is
LOGICAL.
